Film Making – The love of making and writing shorts, to create a piece of thought. All aspects of film creation from concept to viewing: the shooting, the editing, working with people, helping the process to its conclusion. The great sport of paintball, mostly speedball but will always go back to the woods; all paintballers come from the woods. Politics, both international and domestic: the idea of citizenship as a profession. The liberal arts school concept: history, reading, life the good and the bad, the outdoors, the indoors, swimming, walking, running, the quiet and the party, photography, and anything else that I may find myself wanting to dive in. The most important part of all these interests is the connections we form with everyone around us. Life is not so fun when you attempt the job by yourself. My interest are the things I can do with people, if that is making a film, or heading out onto the paintball field, or playing a Sunday tackle football game, then the event becomes my interest. Interests are nothing without sharing those events with the people you care about and the people you could eventually care about.
